The Sleeping Beauty

About This Movie

So, The Sleeping Beauty from '52, directed by Gilberto Martínez Solares, is a quirky mix of comedy and fantasy, almost a surreal take on the Sleeping Beauty tale. You’ve got this caveman who wakes up after a millennium, and his bewilderment is just delightful, really. The performances are fun—there's a genuine charm in how the actors navigate this mix of ancient and modern sensibilities. And the practical effects, while not groundbreaking, have this endearing DIY quality that adds to the overall atmosphere. It’s a film that plays with themes of love and rivalry, and the pacing keeps things light and engaging. It’s a unique gem if you appreciate oddball cinema from this era.
